About these reports...
These reports are prepared weekly aboard RV Nathaniel B. Palmer. Larry Lawver and
co-authors write the text. Ben Sloan generates the graphics, some by transfer of video
images from a camcorder to a Silicon Graphics workstation (see Tips
for Sailors). He then merges the images with an editted version of the text and rolls
it all into HTML. Both text and images are electronically mailed (via satellite) to Lisa
Gahagan at the Institute for Geophysics, who puts them on the UTIG web site from where
you, gentle reader, access them. That's Clarence Island at the top of the page.
